100 year old autistic, professional recluse and very occasional synthwave producer (https://panthersolo.bandcamp.com). Buddie. Moments of levity actually cause me pain. No opinions my own, even the ones I say are.
Shaved my head the other day. #1 all over. Decided to play baldness at its own game. 2026 will be the year I get into hats.

I didn't get any further than "The DRC has no billionaires, yet 75% of its population lives in extreme poverty" as the tears of laughter blurred my vision. This has to be a bit.
Poverty is a serious issue that we care deeply about. But billionaires aren't responsible for it. The DRC has no billionaires, yet 75% of its population lives in extreme poverty.
We applaud billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet who have saved millions of lives with their charity.

For years a sizeable cohort of swivel-eyed right-wing bloggers obsessively "watched" Chomsky, believing he was a God to the entire global left, hunting for the smoking gun of a problematic comment about e.g. the War on Terror or Israel, and every one of them missed that he was pally with Epstein.

Because the public are traitorous swine who keep choosing the wrong people, so reliably right-wing MP drinking buddies of Westminster bubble journos are much preferred. The likes of Sodha and Rentoul would be much happier if the great unwashed didn't keep ruining their Fantasy Cabinets by voting.
Would the MPs not have picked - say - Cameron, May, Johnson, Sunak and Starmer? And if they would, then what the fuck is the issue here

A great way to avoid being infuriated by lying far-right creeps on Question Time is to never, ever watch it and do literally anything else instead.

The BBC still tells you not to believe the numbers, adding "according to the Hamas-run health ministry" every single time they reluctantly quote a death toll.
I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.
Biden himself said they were fabricated!

🟥 In Gaza, Israel has recovered its one remaining Israeli captive, Ran Gvili. It’s all over the news.
What’s not in the news is that more than 10,000 Palestinians remain unaccounted for and buried under tons of rubble.

The truth is that this iteration of the Labour Party does not know how to do anything other than attack the left, so even when faced by a threat from the right it still presents as conservative and paints its opponent as illegitimate and even criminal.

You can just say "Generative AI is shit" without pretending not to understand how the English language works.
Ok, we're into the intro video, and we've been told that "you'll learn why crafting clear, precise prompts is essential to getting accurate, helpful results from Generative AI". Which strongly implies that accurate results are possible, and if they're not, that's your fault.

Bit disappointing that the Green Party have resorted to Lib Dem Bar Charts. Apart from being disingenuous and condescending, they rarely actually worked for the LDs when they used them.
The Green Party has claimed figures from a projection show “only the Greens can stop Reform” in Gorton and Denton.
This is misleading. The model cited suggests Reform and the Greens will increase vote share the most, but currently projects a Labour win.
